A Prayer for You Today (1)

November 21, 2022

Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.

With joy, you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

And you will say (on) that day:

 

Give thanks to the Lord,
call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim that his name is exalted
.’

 

Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
let this be made known in all the earth.

Isaiah 12:2-5

Multisided thanksgiving is a beautiful gain for the human heart, and thanksgiving to God is the most rational thing we can do as His children.

 

O My God,

My fairest, greatest, first of all, objects, my heart admires, adores, loves thee, for my little vessel is as full as it can be, and I would pour out all that fullness before You in ceaseless flow. 

 

I thank You for:

The soul you have created, for adorning it, sanctifying it, though it is fixed in barren soil.

 

For the body, You have given me, for preserving its strength and vigor, for providing senses to enjoy delights, for the ease and freedom of my limbs, for hands, eyes, and ears that do Your bidding.

 

for thy royal bounty providing my daily support,

for a full table and overflowing cup,

for appetite, taste, sweetness,

for the social joys of relatives and friends,

for the ability to serve others,

for a heart that feels sorrow and necessities,

for a mind to care for my fellow men and women,

for opportunities of spreading happiness around,

for loved ones in the joys of heaven,

for my own expectation of seeing You clearly. 

 

I love You above the powers of language to express, and for what You art to us. 

Increase my love, O my God, through time and eternity.
